We've had four days of very positive action on the Nasdaq and it looks like we might finally hold these gains. I think the sentiment has changed. There's more confidence in the marketplace but we still have that worry about the earnings part of the equation.
In January, April and July, the SP 500 and the Nasdaq have closed down when earnings are reported but they tend to be better ahead of earnings so I don't expect October to be any different. It's a very volatile market and things shift very quickly but the expectations are just so high ahead of earnings.
There's a little bit more weakness in the Nasdaq and in the tech sector than we expected -- it may just be that the sheer number of buyers aren't there. But the retailers are up and there's a little positive action in the manufacturers, which could be a defensive play on the part of investors.
As far as we can tell, confidence now seems to have run a bit ahead of the improvement in the stock market, and the failure of the Nasdaq and Dow to make further progress in recent weeks makes it doubtful that confidence will continue to rise at the May pace. The sharp rise in unemployment is likely to become a negative factor, too.
I personally think it is absurd, but the market is again hostage to the U. S. Nasdaq index. Our problem is a lack of volume.
I'm afraid the selling will continue until Nasdaq settles down, which may take another few weeks. There have been quite a few good earnings results from domestic firms, but their impact on market sentiment has been very limited.
We had the Nasdaq acting poorly all day, even when the Dow and the SP were doing well all day, ... But breadth has gotten increasingly negative. We are just seeing technical action here and higher oil is just exacerbating the move.
Next week's market is going to be big for tech companies. As long as the Nasdaq powers ahead, we're going to see more and more filings.
We're already starting to see valuations get stretched again. It's not unlikely that we can get back close to 1,700 on the Nasdaq, but I don't think that's necessarily justifiable. That's just a function of trading psychology in the short run.
The Nasdaq hit its Sept. 21 low, it held that level and then you saw it starting to rise. There was a lot of short-covering and there's really only so much that short-covering can do to the market. I am afraid it may be only a temporary measure here.
I do think we're searching for a bottom on the Nasdaq and the action looks good so far. I see a lot of stocks doing well and people are going bottom fishing. Interest rates matter and clearly the Federal Reserve needs to focus on the Nasdaq.
A lot of the Nasdaq stocks had a tremendous performance last year and may have gotten ahead of themselves in the early part of this year.
The market was following Nasdaq, but in a much calmer way than before. Also, trading was pretty thin, the final buyer was absent from the market.
If you think about what has really led the Nasdaq for the past six months, ... the answer has been exceptional growth rates. If you're a company with these phenomenal growth rates, your stock has gone to the moon if you actually make money, you've languished. That's been a reversal, and that is good for right now. So if you look at areas such as semiconductors, enterprise hardware, software and wireless I think these types of companies are all going to all deliver strong earnings.
